Question:
am considering it but just wanna know what exactly i may be getting myself into...
what are the possible jobs/career i will mostly like be working for after going to school for this particular major.
is the United Nations one of them? if not what will i have to major in to be working in the UN?
international affairs? or what?
&&what exactly do people do when working in the UN? what are the possibilities of getting a job with the UN?
Answer: Humanities is History, Literature, Arts and the Languages. (there might be more in it than those, but those are the major bits).
You might be able to get in with the UN with that...International affairs or Political Science are probably better. (they probably fall under the Humanities, anyway).
Your best bet is to decide what sort of career you want WITHIN the UN. I used to think that interpreting would be nice, but then I found out what they get paid, and decided that wasn't going to be much of a career.
See if you can find some site that tells you what the UN is looking for in the educational background of their prospective employees.
